When two of the most magically gifted wizards on this (or any other) planet set out on a quiet stroll one evening, neither of them are aware of the terrifying adventure that awaits them. They only have themselves to blame for bringing it on, however, as they fail to see a giant hole in the ground and wander straight into it, leading them to a cave of unspeakably horrible monsters. Their only way out is to navigate through 100 deviously dangerous levels...

...which is where you come in! The Wizards Who Fell In A Hole is a one- or two-player platform game in which each player controls a wizard who can jump and shoot at a variety of monsters, with the aim being to kill all monsters on a level before progressing. There are special items to give you various power-ups and help you along the way, and lots of tasty food to be eaten to rack up the high scores (and extra lives).

The game is available on Steam and has support for Steam achievements and, as of February 2019, leaderboards. There is now a leaderboard which contains each player's highest score from a single credit so you can compare your performances with the rest of the Steam community.

Here is a video trailer and some screenshots from the game. Click on the screenshots to view larger versions.

Special Item Guide

Where would we be without the hugely useful special items in The Wizards Who Fell In A Hole? A few levels further back having had a little less fun no doubt! Here is a guide to each of the 25 different special items that can be picked up during the game. Special items (as oppose to points items, which, unsurprisingly, just award points) always have an effect on the game somehow, such as skipping levels or awarding power-ups. One completely random one appears on each level, about 10 seconds after the level has started.

Bronze Key - Skips to the next level.

Silver Key - Skips two levels - the one you are on and the one after that.

Gold Key - Skips three levels - the one you are on and the next two after that.

Dice - Makes you invincible for 20 seconds.

Ladder - Increases the value of all food that appears after killing monsters
for 60 seconds.

Candle - Gives you rapid fire until you lose a life, allowing you to hold
the fire button down to repeatedly fire.
